To ALL WHoM Ir MAY consumi:

B e it known that I, JOHN LANE, oi' Chicago,nrthe count-y or" Cook,andState of Illinois, have invented a. new and useful Improved Plough;and I do hereby declare und malte known that the following is a full,clear, e'nd exact description of the same, reference being hed to theaccompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

My invention'relates particularly to that classici' ploug'ns known assteel ploughs, Where the ley is `welded to e. land-side bar; undthe-nature of my invention is the combining therewith a removableslip-point, of particular construction, which protects the line of weld,endfreceives the brunt of x/renr, as hereinafterdescribed.v

'lo enable others skilled in the :1itto make and use my invention,.Iwill-proceed to describe the same, referring to the drawings, and thelettersmnrked thereon. Like letters in thediiferent i'igures refer tolike part-s.

I make the luy and lend-side, and weld them together', as in commonpractice.

, Figure I. A is the lay; .I3 is the land-side; C to c?, thc lineWelded. The end or'pointof the luy is blunted, as shown at c. Theremovable point is made of cast metal or wrought steel. It is made so asto provide a covering or facing to the land-side and lay :it the line ofWeld, and extending `forward', producing a point to receive the brunt ofweer, and is secure-d to the plough by e bolt through the land-side.

FiguresQ, 3, and 4 are'views or" the removable pointes` I make it. Z isthe side to fece or protect the landside. vy is c. flange, on the sideofthe upper edge, to rest on the top ofthe lay. f is a. shoulder,against which the blunt end, c, ofthe plough is to rest. his theextension, to receive the brunt of weer. n is u lenge, on the side ofthe lower edge,'which I sometimes Ineke to rest on the under side or"the lend-side, which may be as shown in lig. 4, or only extending but apart orshort distance, as in g. 3. I sometimes make a. pin-cutter, m, onthe top edge, as shown in g. 4, for the purpose of cutting sod-land. Theangle produced by the side e and lungeg forms u groove or recess, inwhich is protected the line of weldfrom weer.

Figure 5 is :t View of the lay and land-side welded, the removable pointattached, secured by a. bolt, :12, through Athe lnnd-side. The edge, S,ofthe ilu-nge g is in line of travel ofthe soil, and is edged oil`smooth. No clogging on ofthe soil can take place, asis the case ivhereone piece of metal overlaps another iu e. cross-direction, as from w toe. 'p I Figure G gives a. View of the u-nder side of the plough with thepoint attached, the'line R showing hou I sometimes add the ilange n. Theremovable point, as I ineke it, is readily attached to en old plough,the point and line of weld of which have become worn by use, securelyprotecting it from further weer. Y Y

I do not claim the attaching of at seperate piece of metal to the pointof the plough; neither do I herein claim either of the parts hereindescribed,separately considered; 'but having thus described myinvention,

What I new desire to secure by Letters Patent, is- Y The particular formand constructionl of the slip-point, as arranged, either with or Withoutthe lenge u, and either with or without the pin-cutter m, in combinationwith e lay end land-side Welded together, es described, and for thepurpose shown.

JOHN LANE.
